MARITIME - TWO ARTIST RESIDENCIES – ST POL DE LÉON, BRITTANY, FRANCE (SUBJECT TO ARTS FUNDING)
15 DAYS IN APRIL / MAY 2024
MARITIME is an international collaborative project in 2024-2025, between 6 visual artists on both sides of the Celtic Sea (Co. Cork in Ireland / department of Finistère in Brittany). Creative partners include Sample Studios, West Cork Arts Centre and SWERVE Magazine in Ireland and the Centre du Livre d'Artiste en Bretagne (CLAB), the artist collective COURANTs D'ART and Galerie 6 in Morlaix in France.
We are looking for two visual practitioners with a sustained practice and existing research interest in any aspect of the theme, with a track record in synthesising ideas into a coherent body of work that goes beyond literal representation.
